Haiku: An Anywhere Door

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” Joseph Campbell

Haiku: An Anywhere Door – Beckons

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors… What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you’d come to closed door number eight and you’d think, ‘Great, I got another one out of the way’… Keep moving forward. Joel Osteen

In times of darkness
our souls search for calmer climes
Anywhere we can…

We live in tumultuous times and some of us would love to escape, periodically, to calmer climes. I bet we can all imagine walking through an Open door into new worlds and vistas to explore… Go find yours!

“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.” Coco Chanel

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we’re all teachers – if we’re willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. Marla Gibbs

Anywhere we go
Time Machines tick tock away
Pass on that … today

A helmet of pain
Invisibility hurts
We’ll pass that door … too

Take the Open Door
Dive in oceans your heart calls
Swim from pissed to … Peace

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. Johnny Cash
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open. Pauline Kael

This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Pick Your Gadget. Your local electronics store has just started selling time machines, anywhere doors, and invisibility helmets. You can only afford one. Which of these do you buy, and why?

Doors for me represent both challenges and opportunities. Whether it’s a challenge or an opportunity, it’s our attitude that determines how we overcome the challenge and how we maximize the opportunity we meet along the way.
